He has written many books including The Jesus I never knew, Hangman's curse, The Visitation and so many more I don't think I could write them all down. Frank Peretti generally deals with Christianity and other very socially sensitive topics. .
*Overview*.
Hangman's Curse is he first book I have read by Frank Peretti. It is a story with much social sensitivity in that it deals with witchcraft, Christianity, and drugs. In the beginning of the story there is twins, Elijah and Elisha are involved in a drug bust. After that we find out that they are part of the verities project, meaning "truth". The next thing they worked on took on was the rest of the book. The Springfield's needed to find out why star athletes were going insane, and becoming unresponsive to the world. At first they thought it was witchcraft but then the wrong people started falling victim to "The Ghost of Abel Frye" (first appeared on page 15).
*Setting*.
Hangman's curse took place in 3 places, the town of Reinfeild, the Springfield's motor home and in the school. For the most part it took place in the school, but a lot of the figuring out was done on the "Holy Roller" (chapter 7) which is the Springfield's house on wheels.
*Characters and Themes*.
Elijah Springfield is one of the many main characters. In this book the characters are either extremely important or not important to the story at all, but all of the ones discussed are extremely important. Elisha Springfield is somewhere around fifteen to eighteen. He and his family are all involved in the verities project. Elijah is the one person who made real good friends with Ian Snyder, a gothic kid obsessed with Satan and black. Elijah soon learned about Ian's cultist group and that he possessed the "power" of the school Ghost named Abel Frye.
The theme That one learns about from Ian Snyder is that not to judge people so fast, because that person might have had that happen to them a lot and it could have made them a little weird, and want to have revenge.
They believed that this ability was passed down by his father who uttered it to him in the form of a curse. ... Furthermore, in the Hebrew Scriptures or the Old Testament of the Bible, witchcraft usually pertains to women who utter curses for the purpose of injuring other people and razing crops. ...
